1365348 - mochitest --jsdebugger does not imply --no-autorun contrary to the --help text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Nico Grunbaum [:ng, @chew:mozilla.org]]

Steps to reproduce:
./mach mochitest --jsdebugger

Expected outcome:
mochitests do not begin to run immediately

Actually outcome:
tests begin immediately executing

Workaround for single test foo:
./mach mochitest --jsdebugger --no-autorun foo

Additional note: for "all mochitests" I would expect the command:
./mach mochitest --jsdebugger --no-autorun
would present a "run tests" link but it does not ... is this intentional?

Additional note 2: It may also be worth noting in the help text, that the toolbox is useful for debugging the chrome and is unable to debug the mochitests themselves.

Since bug 929535 got fixed the docs are wrong.

This is no longer the case. :-)
